    I was just going to prepare for the engine out today, draining fluids, removing wheels, wheel wells etc...But since everything was going pretty smooth, I just went on and removed the hole thing. Tomorow I will start to tear deeper down into the engine to find my " rock in a can" sound ( suspect the oil pumnp chain/tensioner)

    Btw the belt look pretty good ( 3 years, and 2500miles since last belt change)

    Here are som pictures.

    Its okay, but I will move it to another, more beefy, stand when I start working on getting to the chain and tensioner.

    You feed them through the holes in the fire wall, little by little, as you raise the body of the car.

    I know how they come out. ;) I found that taking them out and then putting them back in properly to be a real pain.

    You don't mess around! Amazing. Hopefully it's a quick fix and back on the track.
